Notes from the Yield Terminal

Product updates, post-mortems, deep-dives on stablecoin yield, CCTP, and the Arc ecosystem. No fluff — only what we'd want to read ourselves.

First post incoming

The blog is being set up.

We're drafting the first articles right now. In the meantime, follow us on X or join Discord — that's where we ship updates first.

In the Pipeline

Why we built ArcSwap as a yield terminal, not a DEX

DeFi has plenty of swap UIs. What's missing is a single venue where idle stablecoins earn Treasury yield while staying instantly tradable. Here's the design thesis.

USYC, explained for stablecoin holders

A no-jargon walk-through of how Hashnote's tokenized money market fund actually works — what backs it, how yield accrues, and what the real risks look like.

Pinning a frontend to IPFS, the right way

How we ship immutable builds: deterministic bundles, two pinning providers, ENS contenthash via multi-sig, and a verification flow anyone can audit.

CCTP vs lock-and-mint bridges

Native USDC bridges burn-and-mint instead of locking liquidity. Walking through what that means for users, attackers, and the broader stablecoin economy.

Circle Gateway and the multichain USDC future

Why Circle's Unified Balance Kit changes the UX of cross-chain stablecoin flows — and how we're planning to integrate it without bloating the bundle.

Our security stack, in one page

CSP, SRI, multi-sig, IPFS, vulnerability disclosure, incident response. The whole defense-in-depth story, written so you can verify each layer yourself.
